Chocolate gravy???

[Gunslinger]

I don't know where to put this. It's not desert, it's breakfast. It's gravy, so it's a sauce, more or less.
Nevertheless, here it is, as promised to Bbqgoddess

1 c. sugar
2 T cocoa
2 T flour
2 C milk
1 t vanilla
1 T real butter (no margarine)

Sift sugar, flour, and cocoa together in saucepan, add milk. On medium heat stir until gravy thickens to desired consistency. Remove from heat add butter and vanilla. For best results, serve over hot fried biscuits.

I know this sounds gross at first, but you have to try it. Cook up some bacon or JD sausage to go along with it.
I can see it now. Biscuit and chocolate gravy fatty.

Well Gunny, that sounds a lot like chocolate pudding. I don't know why it wouldn't be good on fried biscuits.

A bit thinner, and with butter. The butter makes it. As far as the fried biscuits go, that's all mine. The hill folk have it on oven baked biscuits. In these parts, fried biscuits are for supper. Fried Sucker fillets (yeah, sucker, the fish), wilted lettuce, and fried biscuits. That's a typical supper in this part of the Ozarks. I haven't been able to bring myself to try sucker yet. I have eaten gar though. Very good.

lol we call that chocolate sauce and usually serve it over icecream.

Why on earth would you call it 'gravy' lol

Well Gunny, I've eaten lots of sucker when I lived in Michigan. We snagged them out of the power house pool which spilled into Lake Michigan. Cleaned, chunked and canned with just a bit of salt ant vinegar in the water. After a couple of weeks we'd make fish patties that tasted almost like salmon patties.

In Traverse City, MI they'd run ya out of town for taking a sucker home. We had a neighbor up there that was afraid of getting hanged for hauling a channel cat home after salmon fishing.
They do the same thing with carp here. It's pressure cooked then canned.
The suckers are scored, breaded, and fried. I'll try it some day. In Nixa, the town where I work, they have a huge festival every year. It's called Sucker Days.

We catch suckers and sheepshead down by the power plant. Same as carp....smoke 'em. Ain't good for anything else besides fertilizer for the garden.

I'm thinkin' a pinch or 2 of cayenne would perk that chocolate sauce up a bit - kinda like molé without the coffee...

Nope. This is a traditional hillbilly breakfast.

It does not get any better than fried biscuits... We have them every weekend when we are deer hunting..

They are best if you make your biscuits from scratch... but you can us can biscuits in a pinch...

Hot cast iron skillet some bacon grease and fry lightly on each side about 3-4 minutes.. Thats how we do them at the property..
